5 June 2015 / Colorado-Kansas supercells and tornadoes

The title of the post is more impressive than what we experienced.  In fact, this was the second day in a row of being gut punched by Mother Nature.

We left Greeley, Colorado and drove south toward I-70.  Everything seemed to be on track for supercells near the interstate corridor.  We stopped in Keenesburg for a burger, and that was the difference in timing in seeing the early tornado at Parker, Colorado.   We pulled up to a viewing spot just southwest of Bennett and watched the tornado dissipate to our southwest.  The storm did try hard to produce another tornado, but failed.  Outside of the Parker tornado, early storms seemed to be struggling with limited CAPE.  At the first signs of development farther east, we made our move.

Several supercell storms developed in the area bounded by Genoa, Last Chance, Arickaree, and Arriba.  A storm at the northern end of this area began to rotate strongly, and we should have responded by continuing east on Highway 36.  But, we felt that the storm might be a bit too crowded by other storms and we started south at Last Chance for the southern storms.

We turned east at Genoa and by the time we reached Seibert, a supercell was located to our northwest and another one to our northeast.  99 decisions can be correct, and one wrong one can make the difference in the day.  Rotation was increasing to our northwest and we decided to go north out of Seibert.  We saw excellent supercell structure northwest of Seibert, but could not see that a strong tornado was rapidly developing with the storm to our east.  We would have been in perfect position for this tornado had we used a north option at Stratton which is only a few miles east of Seibert.  As it was, we saw the large tornado just before it became wrapped in rain.  We decided to use a gravel road to get east and that turned into a 30 minute slog down a mud road that had us barely running 15 mph at times.  I’m still not sure how we didn’t get stuck in mud.

We made a final attempt to get in position on the storm just west of Hale, Colorado, but the storm had become somewhat disorganized.

We drove east into Kansas and attempted an intercept of a storm that produced a tornado between Atwood and Colby, but this storm started weakening prior to our arrival.

That left us with enough time for one more failure.  We targeted a storm that had confirmed tornadoes south of Colby, but as luck would have it, the storm produced its final tornado just prior to our arrival.
